How it works

Three steps, twenty minutes, one spidermap

  1. 01

    Measure yourself

    120 things a PMM actually does, not concepts. You answer for what you can do, not what you've read. One domain at a time, pick it up whenever.

  2. 02

    See your map

    12 domains on one spidermap. Your strengths jump out, so do your blind spots — and the three domains to work on first arrive with the resources to do it.

  3. 03

    Grow, and prove it

    XP for every step forward, quests to keep the rhythm, and a frozen snapshot for the day you want to compare.

Proof over time

Come back in 6 months. Prove it.

Any assessment can be frozen into an immutable snapshot. Six months later you don't claim you got better — you lay the two maps on top of each other. Handy in a 1:1, decisive in an interview.

Manage capability, not vibes

Your PMMs share their map when they choose to. You finally see the team as it actually is.

  • Your team's map on one page. One aggregate radar, plus every member's spidermap. What your team can do — not what it says in 1:1s.
  • Risky domains, before they cost you. A domain with nobody to turn to is a hole in the team. It shows up before the next launch, not during the post-mortem.
  • Mentoring organises itself. Every strength becomes a mentor, every gap a mentee. The pairing is suggested; you just sign off on it.

Explicit consent, always: a member opts into your team, and you never see the detail of their answers.

The book behind the method

Based on the method from From Product to Profit

Twelve chapters, one argument: product marketing isn't a communications function, it's how you turn product decisions into profit. This assessment maps directly onto its twelve domains.

Straight answers

What you're already wondering

How is this different from a LinkedIn quiz?

A quiz tests what you can recite. Here, the 120 items describe things you either did or didn't do — “I wrote positioning that survived an exec review”, not “I know what positioning is”. The grid comes from a published method, and advanced items count three times what the basics do, so your score reflects the hard part.

I don't have twenty minutes in one sitting.

Nobody does. You assess one domain at a time and pick up exactly where you stopped — three minutes on the train counts as much as a quiet session.

Isn't self-assessment just self-flattery?

It's the risk, and the scale is built against it: “I could teach this” is not the same box as “I've heard of it”. And snapshots put you face to face with your six-months-ago self, which is exactly where flattery shows.

Twenty minutes against years of guesswork

You can't close a gap you've never seen. Draw your first map: you'll know what to work on before the day is out.

No sales call. Just your honest answers.
